Red wire
Black wire
Green wire
Wait for the spark
Hit the switch
Let's see what starts

Maybe its a motor
Or maybe its a screen
Or maybe its a light
For something in between

Maybe something moves
Maybe something pops
Maybe something ends
Or it all completely stops

A battery connection
Or a plug in a socket
Or maybe all it needs
Are the keys in my pocket

A horn beeps
A light flashes
The radio booms
Water sprays and splashes

No matter the connection
If it works it's right
Just like in life
When its shining bright
Inspired by wiring trolling motors, depth finders, trim switches I. The past week getting the boat ready for a trip
